Annotation: The article is devoted to the functional-technological and architectural-planning aspects of the arrangement of special sensory spaces and their individual elements in the structure of some types of social and rehabilitation institutions for persons with physical disabilities. The authors have shown that sensory spaces with appropriate functional content and planning solutions can have a very significant psychotherapeutic, corrective-restorative, stimulating and other types of positive impact in relation to certain contingents of persons with physical disabilities – especially in relation to persons with lost or significantly impaired functions of the leading sensory analyzers (vision, hearing). The potential possibilities of using sensory spaces and their individual elements for these purposes are demonstrated by examples of models of sensory rooms proposed by the authors for use in children’s rehabilitation institutions with departments of alternative forms of therapy, as well as examples of experimental design solutions of specialized centers for social assistance and industrial and labor rehabilitation of disabled people developed within the framework of the renovation program of some inoperative industrial enterprises in the cities of the Donetsk region. Based on the results of the performed analytical studies, as well as the experience of experimental design and construction, a conclusion is made about the possibility and expediency of more active use of the considered types of spaces in improving the living conditions and rehabilitation of persons with severe sensory disorders.
